Curling The Lake of Menteith - cracks appearing
Curlers are being warned not to venture on to the Lake of Menteith as a rise in temperatures has begun to thaw the ice.
Local curling clubs had planned an unofficial curling tournament, or bonspiel, following a weekend of activity on the loch near Aberfoyle.
The official Grand Match was called off by the Royal Caledonian Curling Club on Friday over safety fears.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A chilling scene unfolds on the Lake of Menteith in Scotland as temperatures begin to rise and cracks start to appear in the once solid ice. Local curling clubs had eagerly anticipated an unofficial tournament, or "bonspiel," following a weekend of activity on the loch near Aberfoyle. However, the Royal Caledonian Curling Club issued a safety warning on Friday, cancelling the official Grand Match due to the unstable ice conditions. The serene image captured by photographer Ian MacNicol of Colorsport Images showcases the picturesque yet treacherous landscape, with the jagged cracks cutting through the ice like veins. The tranquil waters of the lake mirror the surrounding snow-capped hills, adding to the surreal beauty of the scene. Despite the cancellation of the official event, the allure of the ice and the thrill of competition proved too strong for some. Local curlers could be seen huddled around bonfires, discussing strategies and preparing their equipment, hoping for a brief window of opportunity to test their skills on the ice. The Lake of Menteith, nestled in the heart of the Trossachs National Park, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and its rich curling history. The annual bonspiel is a much-anticipated event for curling enthusiasts, drawing participants from across the region. However, the unpredictable Scottish weather and the ever-changing conditions of the lake add an element of excitement and unpredictability to the proceedings. As the sun sets on the Lake of Menteith, the curlers reluctantly pack up their gear, their dreams of competition momentarily dashed by the thawing ice. But the spirit of the game remains strong, and they know that the next opportunity to take to the ice is just around the corner.
